We extended our stay for a second night as we felt so comfortable in our 1 bedroom unit. The owner was friendly and helpful - allowed me to use the laundry til after hours and lock up after myself - by the way best motel laundry I'd used whole trip. The unit was very spacious, clean and tidy. The motel... More

We had a lovely stay at Summit and wish it had been longer. The owners are friendly and welcoming, the rooms clean and bigger than expected (we had the two bedroom unit) with everything you might require for self catering. Lovely small pool area for the kids and nice big flat screen TV for the blokes! We would definitely stay... More

Mike and Judith made us feel very welcome and were fantastic with our 3 primary school aged children!! The staff were also extremely friendly, and I loved having "the fairies" doing the daily cleaning!! I fully reccommend this... More

It is a shame that this motel received so many bad reviews under its old owners. I have stayed at a few motels in Tauranga since I was called to help with oiled wildlife after the Rena spill. This was the best one - BY FAR! The grounds were tidy, the rooms were modern, the hosts were friendly, helpful and... More

First of all, this is a lovely complex, the room we had was spotless and well kept, the water pressure was excellent (although the shower did not stay at a steady temperature), the grounds are immaculate and it’s fairly central, only a couple of minutes drive to the city centre; we were genuinely looking forward to staying. Our requirements when... More
